Meet Dr. Joshua Blanchard

Staying in the Game With Chiropractic

Always a fan of sports, Dr. Josh played basketball in high school. He experienced a back injury that required the help of a chiropractor to get better. Within a few visits, he was back to normal. Throughout high school, Dr. Josh continued to receive periodic adjustments when he was in pain. ‘’I was thankful that I didn’t have to give up doing something that I loved. I felt inspired, and performed better than ever!”

Beginning an Education in Natural Health Care

Dr. Josh first attended Louisiana State University intent on becoming a pharmacist. Soon, he found himself with a lack of enthusiasm in his course work. ‘’I realized I was working toward the wrong profession for my interest and passion.” He saw a poster around campus for chiropractic college and looked into it. Dr. Josh switched gears and decided to go into the chiropractic profession, first achieving a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology.

Then, it was on to Life University in Marietta, Georgia. ‘’I started learning that chiropractic care was about more than back and neck pain. It heals beyond that. I found out that chiropractic can help children with common conditions and help women to have healthier pregnancies, which is one of my main focuses today.”

Dr. Josh takes pride in the trust that the parents of our community place in him, knowing that he can provide care that keeps their children healthy from birth. He also sees many patients that are referred to him from area OBGYNs and other health professionals who respect his natural, effective approach.

Focusing on Children and Pregnancy

As a member of the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association, Dr. Josh has trained extensively in chiropractic care for all ages of children, from newborns to teenagers. He’s also certified in the Webster Technique, one of few in our area that has this qualification to adjust pregnant women. Dr. Josh is also one of few in the state who is certified in Activator Methods®.

When he’s not in the practice, Dr. Josh likes everything sports-related, whether watching them on television or playing basketball. He enjoys being on the lake kayaking and paddleboarding and goes for hikes when he has time. He’s also a member of BNI® Louisiana, a networking organization.
